Skin protects the internal organs by keeping unwanted germs and filth out which can eventually lead to infection and illness. Bacteria, germs, diseases....anything that shouldn't be inside your body are kept out by a stretchy outer covering also known as your "skin"!
Your skin acts as a protective barrier to the environment. For example, when a burn victim's skin has been damaged, their body is exposed so they are likely to develop infections more easily than an individual with no burns, lacerations, abrasions, etc.
Skin also provides protection for internal organs by helping the body to maintain its temperature and moisture content.
